How do those who contend that woman is the
intellectual inferior of man account for the fact that she can give a man a
piece of her mind 365 days in the year and still have a huge reserve supply? - Robert Elliot Gonzales

What is earthly happiness? that phantom of which we
hear so much, and see so little; whose promises are constantly given and
constantly broken, but as constantly believed; that cheats us with the sound
instead of the substance, and with the blossom instead of the fruit. - Charles Caleb Colton

If happiness is a state of the inward life,
we have to look for its chief obstructions not in outward conditions but in
deeper places. Happiness depends in the last issue, as we saw, on the essential
view of life. It is not a matter of distractions, nor even of mere pleasurable
sensations. There may be an appearance of great prosperity with incurable
sadness hidden at the heart, as there is an outward peace which is only a
well-masked despair. The way to happiness is indeed harder than the way to
success; for its chief enemies entrench themselves within the soul. - Hugh Black

The important thing, I think, is not to be
bitter. You know, if it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's
evil. I think that the worst you can say about him is that basically he's an
underachiever. - Woody Allen

Alcohol removes inhibitions – like that
scared little mouse who got drunk and shook his whiskers and shouted: “Now
bring on that damn cat!” - Eleanor Early

I am told to just be myself, but as much as I
have practiced the impression, I am still no good at it. - Robert Brault

I’ve often wanted to drown my troubles, but I
can’t get my wife to go swimming. - Jimmy

better not to know how they are made. - Octave
Mirbeau

It’s better to have your nose in a book, than
in someone else’s business. - Adam

Being Irish is very much a part of who I am.
I take it everywhere with me. - Unknown

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not
me, I'm afraid of widths. - Steven Wright

There are no good girls gone wrong – just bad
girls found out. - Mae West

A summer breeze can be very refreshing; but
if we try to put it in a tin can so we can have it entirely to ourselves, the
breeze will die. Our beloved is the same. He is like a breeze, a cloud, a
flower. If you imprison him in a tin can, he will die. Yet many people do just
that. They rob their loved one of his liberty, until he can no longer be
himself. They live to satisfy themselves and use their loved one to help them
fulfill that. That is not loving; it is destroying. - Thich Nhat Hanh

When two people meet and fall in love,
there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend
to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we
wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then
it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell
at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can
remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay. - Tom Robbins

What is Death? Death is the ending of life. When
people die, their bodies stop working. The heart stops beating and the brain
stops functioning. People have always wanted to learn the secret of living
forever. In ancient times, explorers and scientists searched for the secret of
eternal life. The truth is, nothing can live forever. Everyone and everything
will die in time. Plants, animals, and people all die. Death is a natural part
of life. - Joanne Mattern

We may, indeed, say that the hour of death is
uncertain, but when we say this we think of that hour as situated in a vague
and remote expanse of time; it does not occur to us that it can have any connexion
with the day that has already dawned and can mean that death – or its first
assault and partial possession of us, after which it will never leave hold of
us again – may occur this very afternoon, so far from uncertain, this afternoon
whose time-table, hour by hour, has been settled in advance. - Marcel Proust

I’m supposed to have a Ph.D. on the subject
of women. But the truth is I’ve flunked more often than not. I’m very fond of
women; I admire them. But, like all men, I don’t understand them. - Frank Sinatra

How much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being
who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in
his divine system of creation? - Joseph
Heller

Men are like pumpkins. It seems like all the
good ones are either taken or they've had everything scraped out of their heads
with a spoon. - Unknown

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They
wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day. - Unknown

The most trying misfortune that can befall a
man, is to be domesticated with a bad-tempered woman. - Charles William Day

However we may
flatter ourselves to the contrary, our friends think no higher of us than the
world do. They see us through the jaundiced or distrustful eyes of others. They
may know better, but their feelings are governed by popular prejudice. Nay,
they are more shy of us (when under a cloud) than even strangers; for we
involve them in a common disgrace, or compel them to embroil themselves in
continual quarrels and disputes in our defence. - William Hazlitt

There is no more
precious experience in life than friendship. And I am not forgetting love and
marriage as I write this; the lovers, or the man and wife, who are not friends
are but weakly joined together. One enlarges his circle of friends through
contact with many people. One who limits those contacts narrows the circle and
frequently his own point of view as well. - Eleanor
Roosevelt

I think he is condemned by himself to
loneliness. God is One: he was, he is, he will be always One. One is so lonely.
Maybe that is why he created human beings – to feel less lonely. But as human
beings betray his creation, he may become even lonelier. - Elie Wiesel

But the fact that some geniuses were laughed
at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at
Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they
also laughed at Bozo the Clown. - Carl
Sagan

I told my wife the truth. I told her I was
seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a
psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender. - Rodney Dangerfield

If you want to change the world, do it while
you’re single. Once you’re married, you can’t even change the TV channel. - Unknown

Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage
contract and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences. - Isadora Duncan

There are women who never had an intrigue;
but there are scarce any who never had but one. - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The lucky or successful person has learned a
simple secret. Call up, capture, evoke the feeling of success. When you feel
successful and self-confident, you will act successful. Define your goal or end
result. Picture it to yourself clearly and vividly. Then simply capture the
feeling you would experience if the desirable goal were already an established
fact. Then your internal machinery is geared for success: to guide you in
making the correct muscular motions and adjustments; to supply you with
creative ideas, and to do whatever else is necessary in order to make the goal
an accomplished fact. - Maxwell Maltz

For one to admire a woman merely for her
beauty, is to love the building for its exterior; but to love one for the
greatness of her soul, is to appreciate the tenement for its intrinsic value. -
William Scott Downey

We should thank
God that He did not give us the power of hearing through walls; otherwise there
would be no such thing as friendship. - Austin
O’Malley

Men are simple things. They can survive a
whole weekend with only three things: beer, boxer shorts and batteries for the
remote control.. - Diana Jordan

If a woman is upset, hold her and tell her
how beautiful she is. If she starts to growl, retreat to a safe distance and
throw chocolate at her. - Unknown

Dealing
with stupid people is like playing soccer. You can use your head but a swift
kick is more effective. - Aunty Acid

I think part of a
best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you
die. - Mackey Miller

Christmas, many of us sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of our

If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. - Jack

Santa
Claus has the right idea. Visit people only once a year. - Victor Borge

A man in love is like a clipped coupon - it's
time to cash in. - Mae West
